This Company is formed, not for the purpose of establish ing a new Marine Insurance Office in rivalry with offices already opened, but with the object of continuing the existing Maritime Insurance business so long conducted by Mr. Henry Case, under the firm of Price and Co., in Exchange-buildings, Liverpool. Mr. Case's services, as underwriter, have been secured upon terms-satisfaotory to the Directors, dependent la part upon the success of the Company, and without the payment of any "promotion money," either in cash or shares. It is anticipated that whilst the extensive connection al ready possessed by Messrs. Price ani Co. will be retained and consolidated by the formation of a Company, the busi ness will, at the same time, be considerably increased in consequence of Marine Insurance Companies being now very generally preferred to private underwriters. The success which has attended the operations of Marine Insurance Companies in Liverpool, may be gathered from the present vaiue of their Shares in the market, viz.:— Amount Present Equal paid. price. to The Thames and Mersey £2 £7 0 0 250 per Cent. pm. The British. and Foreign 2 415 0 137 „ The Union ..... The Empire The Albion ..•• • The Mercantile The strictest economy will be exercised in working, and the preliminary expenses will consist solely of the actual neces sary disbursements and legal charges. Applications for Shares must be accompanied by a payment of £1 per share, which will be retained on account of the full payment of £2 per share on the number of shares which may be allotted to the applicant, and will be liable to forfeiture it payment of the remaining £1 per share be not made at the time to be stated in the notice of allotment. Forms of application for shares may be obtained from the brokers, and also at the temporary offices of the Company, 4 and 5, Brown's-buildings, Liverpool. In eases where no allotments are made, the deposit will be returned without deduction. NEW WORK BY THE DUKE OF MANCHESTER. Now ready, in 2 vols.

The report of the directors states that the amount of ca pital chargeable to revenue on 31st Dec. last, exclusive of the leased lines, is as follows :—£12,093,594 consolidated stock, £3,006,386 guaranteed and preference, and £4,575,145 loans ; together, X 19,675,125. The expenditure charged to capital for the half-year amounts to £157,203, of which £88,921 is for new lines. The receipts on revenue account during the past half-year amount to £971,509, against £903,991 for the corresponding half of 1862, showing an in - crease of £67,518. The expenses amounted to £412,811, against £399,410, for the corresponding half of 1862, show ing an increase of only £13,401. The balance of revenue applicable to the payment of dividend on the ordinary stock of the company is £312,826, and out of this amount the directors recommend the proprietors to declare a dividend at the rate of 41 per cent. per annum, less income tax, and to carry forward the balance of £25,603 to the next account. Notwithstanding the continued limitation of manufacturing operations in Lancashire, there has been an increase of the receipts of the railway, amounting to £67,518, over the amount earned in the corresponding period of 1862, a result which, under the circumstances, is considered by the direc tors highly satisfactory. The permanent way is considered by the engineer to be in good condition, and the heads of departments also report the rolling stock under their charge to be in good repair. The estimate of the probable amount which will be required during the current half-year for the extension and enlargement of stations, for rolling stock, and for the purchase of land is £120,000. The Oldham, Roch dale, and Royton Railway has been used for traffic to a limited extent during the past half-year. The construc tion of the new line from Salford to N ictoria is progressing satisfactorily, and the directors are making arrangements for the enlargement and improvement of the Victoria Station, which the opening of the new line will render absolutely necessary. The directors have agreed to recommend the proprietors to subscribe £50,000 towards the capital of £200,000 required for docks at Feetwood, The share capi tal proposed to be raised by this company under the fire bills now before Parliament amounts to £655,000.

STAMPED SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. HERALD.—The blood which Austria and Prussia have shed so wantonly cries toHeaven for vengeance. The brutal butchery which, with the approval of the Crown Prince of Prussia and his cousin, has been committed by the Anglo-Prussian army since the abandonment of the Dannewerke, will earn for the two great German Powers the execration of all civi lised communities. Wanton enough was the invasion of Schleswig, when the object which the Austrian and Prussian Governments professed to seek was secured to them. The withdrawal of the November onstitution might have been obtained without the sacrifice of a single life. But that outrage upon law, that violation of common humanity, pales before the infamous massacre which the overwhelming forces of the allies have perpetrated in Angelo, in the streets of Flensburg, and are continuing along the roads running northward from that town. When the Danes retired from the Dannewerke the pro fessed object of the Austrian and Prussian Govern ments Was accomplished. Schleswig was theirs. The purpose of the Danish army was to escape from the Duchy as fast as it possibly could. It abandoned its material of war ; it sought to pass into Jutland or cross over to Funen, and thence to Zealand, If the ailied commanders had been animated by the spirit professed by their Governments they would have contented themselves with achieving this result, and would have allowed the Danes to escape. But, with a ferocity which reminds one of the worst days of German armies, they fell upon this retreating force, with which they hardly profess to be at war, and slew as many as they possibly could. Watch the Danes out, force them out of the Duchy, that would have been fair enough. To annihilate them, as the Aestro-Prussian commanders have sought to do, was sheer savagery. Fast as the Danes retreated, the Austro-Prussian " braves" were faster. The small and shattered Danish army was attacked again and again by forces far outnumbering it. No losses it sustained satiated the fury of the victors, who seem resolved not to stay their bloody work until they have put to the sword every Dane. Is this slaughter a satisfaction for the humiliations of 1850 ? Are the Danes butchered to satisfy the Austrians for their discomfiture in Italy, and the Prussians for the contempt with which France has treated them P The Prussian army was sent to Schleswig fifteen years ago, by the avowal of the Prussian Minister, to restore its character. Is it sent now to inspire it with confidence ? The relentless cruelty with which the present King of Prussia suppressed the outbreak in Baden was in its day the subject of general reprobation. It would seem that the ferocity imputed to him as exceptional is a family trait. His son and two of his nephews share the glory of the bloody work which was done on Saturday and Sunday in the pleasant land of Angeln, in the outskirts of Flensburg, and which is being zealously carried on to Apenraade,, For glory it will be deemed in Germany. The greater the slaughter of the Danes the greater the satisfac tion amongst Radicals and Reactionists. The more scalps the army has to show the better it will be re ceived by that pseudo.civilised community, the louder will its heroic deeds be sung by the countless bards. Saxons and Hessians, Swabians and Bava rians, will burst with envy to think that they were not engaged in the glorious encounter. We shall hear much from Germany about the valour of the Germans, but it is a valour which will not be ac cepted out of that country. Three men will always be brave when they have only one to oppose them, and the poor fellow is wearied out and anxious to make his escape. There is nothing for Germany to take credit for in the massacre of thirty-five thousand men by eighty-five thousand. How ever, the last Danish soldier having been mur dered, the Duchy will be at the disposition of the Austrian and Prussian Governments. Will they be satisfied with the slaughter they have made, and now, having invaded Schleswig with the best intentions to wards Denmark, restore it to her with a new constitution of their own framing P If we could place the faintest reliance on their profes sions we should assume that they would do so ; and having chastised King Christian in love, put him anew in possession of the states which they acknow ledge to be his. But we cannot place any reliance upon their professions. They are satisfied that England will not interfere; they feel sure of France, whose consent at the worst they can purchase at the expense of some of the small states which have been annoying them; and they have already given hints that they mean to consider the treaty at an end. The explanations of Lord Palmerston aro anything DUI assuring. UL wtiar uao t 3 ti iur .ntsl protest against the doctrine that the resistance of the Danes annulled the treaty. His protests will be treated with contempt. The official organ of the Prussian Ministry roundly declares that Austria and Prussia have not expressed the intention to uphold the integrity of the Danish monarchy ; and although this statement is probably premature, its appearance in such a journal indicates sufficiently that if they have not yet made up their minds to repudiate the treaty, they have a strong inclination to do so. The language employed by the Crown Prince of Prussia —whose part in this monstrous iniquity we will not trust ourselves to characterise—in answering an address at Rensburg, is significant, as showing that his influence will be given to promote the violation of the treaty and the establishment of the pretender upon the throne of Schleswig-Holstein, if it should not be found quite convenient that Prussia should retain possession of the Duchies. Governments which have not scrupled to shed such torrents of blood upon so trifling a pretext will not now be bound by a treaty which they have already violated, and to which they only pretended to adhere so long as there was a chance that England might act the part which her honour and her interests called upon her to take. They are satisfied now that England will put up with any humiliation rather than go to war; and they will consult their own interests only in the disposition of the country which by a crime fouler far than the partition of Poland they have wrested from Denmark. POST.—The amendment of the 3d and 4th Vic toria, cap. 54, proposed by Sir George Grey, consi' derable as it was made to appear, is is reality, look ing at it practically, very small indeed. The alterations which are suggested in the mode of ascertaining the insanity of a prisoner are, that the certificate of lunacy must be signed by two visiting justices of the gaol in which he is confined ; that the two medical men by whom the prisoner is to be exa mined and the certificate made are to be selected by the visiting justices, and they must be physicians or surgeons duly registered under the Medical Re gistration Act ; and that the Secretary of State, on receipt of the certificate, may, in cases where he entertains doubt, order a further inquiry. Now, reading the act as we have all along read it, as permissive and not mandatory, in as it defines the duty of the Secretary of State, this last and most important provision is, in point of law, scarcely required. It may serve to explain, but it certainly does not, as we submit, change the subsisting enactment. With respect to the selection of the medical men who are to conduct the examination of the prisoner and make the certificate, there are, we apprehend, few if any objections that apply to the magistracy as a body which are not equally ap plicable to visiting justices; and as the irresponsi bility of magistrates for any official act not legally corrupt has been so remarkably exemplified in the case of the justices who signed the certificate in favour of Townley, this provision alon e appears to present no sufficient safeguard against the undue influence a sharp attorney could bring to bear upon the visiting justices of a borough gaol. There are members in the present House of Commons who could, if they pleased, give Si r George Grey in stances from the boroughs they represent of who are as able to b ias visiting justices as they are to control the corporations to which they act as clerks. So , also, the provision which requires that the subscribi n g medical men shall be registered physicians or surgeons, though right enough as far as it goes, is obviously dependent on the honesty or discretion of the selected justices. It offers some secur it y , and it will be said, as good security as is given i n the signature of ordi nary cer tificates of lunacy; but Sir George Grey hi mse lf is evidently not satisfied with it, and he therefore reserves to the Secretary of State the power to make further inquiry ; and, in fact, on that reservation the proposed amendment of the act will have to be tested. Practically, there will be no difficulty in obtaining a certificate of lunacy from visiting jus tices and registered medical men. Human nature and psychological theories will operate generally as they operated at Derby. If these amendments had been in force, would they have prevented the attempt to defeat the ends of justice, which unfor tunately succeeded, and has suggested them ? The visiting justices must have ordered an inquiry into the state of Townley's mind. It would have been their duty to do so. But they might have selected other medical men than those by whom the inquiry was actually conducted ? Sir G. Grey has been very particular in explaining that he believes the certi ficated he has received were.made bona fide, after due inquiry,and on positive conviction. We will assume, however, that this would have been a case in which doubts might have suggested themselves to the Home Secretary, and that, in the eseroise of the discretion PROSPECTUS. This Bank is established in order to meet a want which has long been experienced in Mexico—the want of those assured Banking facilities which have done so much to stimulate the industry and develop the resources of other countries. 'lip field before such an Institution, which Mexico and the South American States present, is moat inviting. Its re sources in silver are boundless, while the climate of this wonderful country is such that almost every production of the soil can be cultivated to an extent which can scarcely be imagined. With the hoped-for success which is to be anticipated from the policy of the new Government, Mexico has a great future before her. Money there commands at all times a high re munerative price, ranging from 10 to 18 per cent., and, as the field will be almost free, the Bank will be able to select those securities which are ample and undoubted, on which to make its several advances. It will also constitute a favourable feature of the Mexican Bank that, as a strong London Institution, which has already secured to itself promise of the support of influential Mexi can and South American houses, it will command the confi dence of local depositors, who are at the present tine in the hands of private money-dealers, but who, so soon as such a Banking Institution is established in their midst, will lose no time in transferring considerable deposits to such esta blishment, as offering a security, ample and sufficient, which the private money-dealers there do not afford. The Mexican Bank will commence its operations in Mexico, and the magnitude of the field there may be estimated by the subjoined statistics:— Imports if silver into Great Britain from Mexico and South America (except Brazil), for tee eleven months ending November 30, 1863 , £5,678,913 Imports of gold ditto ditto 3,493,914 The exports from this country, consisting of Manchester goods and other ritish manufactures, are very considerable: and this trade will no doubt be extensively augmented as the empire becomes consolidated and the confidence of merchants in the stability of the Government is secured. The Directors of the Mexican Bank will also establish a Branch in Valparaiso, the great commercial sea port of Chili, and where the want of the facilities which such an institu tion could afford is much experienced by English and Ameri can, as well as the native mercantile firms, carrying on the great trade of that important territory. Arrangements are in contemplation for the incorporation of an existing successful Banking Institution with the Mexi can Bank. No promotion money will be given in the establishment of the Mexican Bank, preliminary expenses to be confined to necessary disbursements. The remuneration of the Directors left to the Share holders. Prospectuses and forms of applications for shares may be obtained of the Brokers, Bankers, Solicitors, and at the Tem porary Offices of the Company, but no application for shares will be considered unless a deposit oft per share has been previously paid to the Bankers of the Company.

THE Wl' GAOLS. The Sheriffs (Messrs. Nissen and Cave) made a report of the state of the City gaols, by which it appeared that there are at present in Newgate 77 prisoners ; in the debtors' pri son, 105; and at the City prison, Holloway, 407 prisoners. THE CONDEMNED PIRATES. Alderman. SIDNEY, M.P., said he should like to ask a question which he considered of some importance. It was their duty, as magistrates of the city of London and visiting justices of the gaol of Newgate, to receive a report from the sheriffs of the state and condition of that gaol, and he ob served by the one that had just been presented to the Court, that it contained the very dreadful statement that no less than seven prisoners were at the present lime in that prison under sentence of death. The point upon width •wiahed to be iutOrmed war, whether the sheriffs, wL a paintut dit,r it was to carry out the sentence of the laW, had made any communication to the Government with a view to ascertain whether it was intended that the sentence of death should be carried out in the heart of London, anc whether it would not be considered desirable that the sentence should be exe cuted at some other place. He did so party in consequence of a remonstrance that had been made to him by a number of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, who were pain fully sensible of the dreadful scenes that took place even upon the occasion of a single execution, and who expressed their opinion that the execution of seven men at one time, in such a place as the Old Bailey, was calculated to pro duce a scene of the most fearful character, and that the feelings of society generally would be outraged by an exe cution of such a description taking place in the city of London. They were also of opinion, and he concurred with them, that the immense multitude of persons that would be collected, a great nt , 2-iber of whom would un doubtedly be the very scum of society, might be productive of some serious outrages and excesses ; and he wished to know whether there was any precedent for the execution of pirates, as these men were, in the city of London. He had always understood that it was the practice to execute such prisoners at the river shore, or at one of the seaport towns ; and he was desirous of being informed whether the sheriffs had taken any steps to save the citizens of London from such a dreadful exhibition, and whether they had made any communication to the Home Secretary on the subject. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Sheriff NISSEN said ho had to state that he and his colleague had that day addressed a communication to Sir G. Grey upon the subject referred to by the worthy alderman, asking whether he did not think it advisable that the sen tence should be carried out upon those prisoners in some other place than the city of Landon. (Hear, hear.) They had also called his attention to some observations that had been made by Sir G . Bo wyer, in the House of Com mons, upon the subject, a nd ask ed the Secretary of State t o com municate with the law of f icers of the Crovrn, with a view to ascertain whether the sentence might notlegally be carried out at some other place, in order that the metropolis might be spared the dreadful scenes that must inevitably take place if the sentence of death is carried out at the Old Bailey, (Hear, hear.) The subject then dropped, and the Court shortly after wards adjourned. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL, A special Court of Common Council wad held at the cons elusion of the proceedings of the Court of Aldermen, at which the Lord Mayor also pl•esided, for the purpese of discussing matters connected with the new City Lunatic , And which is now nearly THE IRISH SOCIETY. c As om yl p u le m te a d t , Stone, andot h n e e r a rt subjects. DarD ar tf o r d The REMEMBRANCER reported that the Corporation of Londonderry were promoting a bill in ,Parliament, the object of which was to extend the period of the tenure of office by the members of the Irish Society from two to five years. (Cries of" Oh, oh.") Alderman ROSE, M.P., was then re-app o i n t e d the Go vernor of the society, an d De p ut y C harles Reed Deputy governor; and the other members were also re-elected, with one or two alterations. The worthy ALDERMAN, having returned thanks to the Court for the honour it had conferred upon him in re-elect ing him to so important an office, stated in answer to a question that had been put by one of the members, that the bill to which their attention had been directed by the Re raembrancer was solely promoted by the Corporation of Londonderry, who desired to effect some improvements in that city. Ile thought it right at the same time to state to the Court that the necessary steps had been taken to give the Corporation of London power to oppose the bill, if they considered it necessary to do so. The subject was then referred to the Law and Parli mentary committee. THE OFFICE OF CITY ARCHITECT. Mr, 11., N. PHILIPPS then brought up a report upon the subject of the office vacant by the death of Mr. Bunning, the late City architect, which recommended that no ap pointment of City architect should be made, but that in lieu of it a gentleman should be apppointed under the ancient title of clerk of the works and surveyor to the City, at a salary of £1,200 per annum ; and the report also re commended certain alterations in the salaries of the clerks to be appointed under this officer. Mr. Philipps having gone at some length into the subject of the report, which like iwise suggested that the Court should take steps to have some memorial in remembrance of the late Mr. Bunning, and as a testimonial of the able services of that gentle- man, concluded by moving that the report should be adopted. Some discussion took place upon the motion; and Mr. ROWE Pxpressed his opinion that the title of City architect should be maintained, and that the preposed salary was not sufficient, and suggested that the amount should be £1,500 instead of £1,200 per annum, Ho moved DANUBE AND BLACK SEA. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes terday at the office, Abingdon-street, Westminster; Mr. W. P. Price in the chair. The report was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said that at the conclusion of the ordinary business they would have to consider the expediency of increasing the capital to £500,000. Although it was originally supposed that £300,000 would have been sufficient for the construe. tion of the railway and harbour at Kustendje, it was found that more money would be required to provide accommoda tion for the merchants and traders in the shape of ware houses and machinery for lifting and preparing the grain for shipment. The sum of £400,000 capital was fixed upon as forming the bases of the prospectus. This had been increased last year by £40,000 for necessary works, and it was estimated by their engineers that about £50,000 more would be required to provide additional rolling stock, and for improving the harbour, extending the quays, and pro viding farther warehouse accommodation for the merch ants and traders to meet the requirements of a more ex tensive traffic. If the outlay of the additional sam he had named should be as remunerative as they expected, the board would not pledge themselves to limit the capital of the company to £500,000. Estimates of traffic had been made which were founded on the rate of past increase, and the natural increase of traffic where superior facilities were afforded. Those estimates of traffic were very en couraging. It was estimated that the traffic in grain for 1863 would amount to 400,000 quarters, which, at is fid per quarter, would give them a profit of Bd. per quarter; but the actual amount carried was 325,000 quarters, and there were 50,000 quarters of local grain. It was estimated that 650,000 quarters of grain might be carried hi 1865 and 860,000 quarters in following years, and so on up to 1,000,000 quarters per annum, the profits per quarter increasing with the larger quantity carried. For the year 1864 it had been estimated that the profit would be 03 10 . 122 f 1044 .h.l 600,000 quarters, at Int., would produce £22,600, which, with passengers (£7,500) and other traffic, would yield a profit of £32,500, and when the quantity carried amounted to 800,000 quarters the profit would be £41,916, subject to a deduction in each case of £1,500 for expenses in England. So that, according to the estimate for the year 1864, they would have a profit of £17,500, and in 1865 of £31,000, after deducting expenses in England. In 1864 the preference charges would be about £lO,OOO, leaving £7,500 for pay. ment of arrears now due on preference stock ; but if they Placed the losses on revenue account up to May, 1863, to a suspense account, which would be gradually liquidated, and appropriated the profit on working the traffic during the past half-year towards these arrears, there would remain £4,000 for dividend on the ordinary shares. In 1865 the preference charges would amount to £14,000, and, as the arrears would then be cleared off, there would remain £17,000 available for dividend on the ordinary share capital of £325,000. The additional expenditure would enable them to carry and otherwise accommodate the increased traffic that had been estimated. The £lOO,OOO additional capital they proposed to ask the proprietors to enable them to raise included a sum of £35,000 which had already been borrowed. As to the terms upon which the additional capital should be raised the meeting or a committee ap pointed for the purpose would have to decide. Mr. LEWIS seconded the motion for the adoption of the report. _ _ Mr. McGarai complained that they had been seven years without dividend, and now they were called upon to raise a further sum of £lOO,OOO. In reply to questions by Mr.Foup, the general manager, Mr. BARCLAY stated that the additional outlay would pro duce in rentals and otherwise a return of from 8 to 12 per cent, The report and statement of accounts were adopted. It was agreed to raise the further sum of £lOO,OOO and to place the loss on working the traffic to a separate account. The retiring directors, Mr. Moron, Mr. Barwell, and Mr. Gordon, were re-elected, and also Mr. R. Potter, the retir ing auditor. The ordinary proceedings were then adjourned for a short time, and the meeting was made special to consider the best mode of raising the necessary funds. On the motion of Mr. FORD, seconded by Mr. CitoWLEY, a resolution was passed referring the matter to a committee of shareholders, consisting of Mr. M'Garal, Mr. Robertson, Mr. Ford, Mr. Crowley, and Mr. Berbeck to confer with the directors as to the best mode of raising the £lOO,OOO, and to report the result to the meeting on Monday next. The special and ordinary meetings were then adjourned accordingly to receive the report of the committee. ROYSTON AND lIITCIIIN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Monday at the office, Graccchurch-street, Mr. J. C, Cob bold, M.P., in the chair. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Sir R. W. CARDEN, a formal resolution to the effect that a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum, less income-tax, and Id per £6 5s stock for expenses of management, on the Royston, Hitchin, and Shepreth consolidated stock, for the half-year ending the Ist of February inst., be paid forthwith, was passed unanimously; and a vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings. FLEETWOOD, PRESTON, AND WEST RIDING. The report of the directors of this company states that the gross receipts for the past half-year amount to £3,325, showing an increase of £176 over the corresponding halt of last year, The working expenses for the half-year are £1,291, against £1,215 for the corresponding period. After deducting the interest on mortgage, the net balance of re venue amounts to £1,057, out of which the directors recom mend a dividend of Is. 63. per share, less income tax. The directors state the loans on mortgage amount to £30,206 in three sums, at 5, 41, and 41 per cent. interest respec tively. The capital account shows that there has been ex pended £257,875.

In fact, there would have been very little if any difference in the proceedings. Of course, under the amended law, Townley would not have been sent to Pentonville. It cannot be intend e d that in cases where the Home Secretary is c m _ pelted to respite a convict to admit of fur her in quiry being made, a commutation of the punish ment is to follow as of course, t.tiough he be proved to be perfectly sane. But take another case, and one that can easily occur uneei - the law es it is proposed to be amended. Say that the inquiry ordered and conducted by the vis:ting justices and registered medical men results in a certificate of the prisoner's sanity. Does anybody thick that when a prisoner has money to em ploy an amity attorney it will not be possible to instil :OMO doubt into the mind of the) Home Secretary and obtain a further inquiry? While, on the other hand, if the prisoner be poor and friendless, v:hat will there be in the certificate to raise a doubt which might possibly be the tenons of ectablishing his insanity ? In practice, it seems but too pro bable that the rich criminal would, under the amended law, maintain, at least, the advantage he now has over the poor criminal, unless the Home Secretary were to order a further inquiry in every case, and, if that is to be understood, these amend- " ments might be very much simplified. The Heroic Veteran—Count Flahault. ONE OF THE LAST OF THE CHIVALROUS FOL LOWERS OF THE GREAT NAPOLEON ! For the following singularly interesting account of the career of the Count Flahault we are indebted to the pen of the Paris correspondent of our leading contemporary: — The appointment of Count Flahault to the post of Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honour has given general satisfaction. It is remembered that he was a soldier two years before the order of which he is now the head was founded by the First Con sul; and which, though often bestowed prodigally, the genius of the founder seems to have preserved in all vicissitudes from degradation or decay. Count Flahault is the most illustrious survivor of that wonderful period which comprises the Consulate end the Empire,under which he held a prominent place. He witnessed not merely as a spectator, but as an actor, the tremendous struggles which shook Europe to its foundations ; and was not the least in those days when there were giants in the land. There arc persons who figure as heroes in works of fiction with. less of the romantic in their career than the Chan cellor of the Legion of Honour. He was born in Paris in 1785, when the first moaning of the tempest which was to sweep everything before it was heard. His father was an officer of rank in the French army and died on the scaffold during the Reign of Terror, on the charge of incivism and of being an aristocrat. The friends of the family succeeded in conveying the orphan child to England, where he was put to school. The story goes that he suffered no small torment from his comrades merely on account of his nationality; so that whereas the Parisian Terrorists put the father to death for not being sufficiently national, the son was persecuted at school for being too much so. When order was restored by the strong hand of Bonaparte, M. Flahault returned to France, but not to lead a life of inactivity. It was a stirring period. The renown of Marceau, General at 24, dying the death of a hero at 27, and over whose grave the enemy as well as his own army paid military honours; of Hoche, to whose other well-earned titles was added that of " Pacifi cator of La Vendee," and who died, full of glory, at 29; and of others destined to a still loftier flight, not to speak of the greatest of all, attracted to the ranks of the army the youth of France. Bonaparte was then preparing for his Italian campaign and - for the victory of Marengo, which secured the sub mission of Italy, broke iu pieces the second coa lition, and ended in the peace of Lunt ills. Young Flahault enrolled himself in the corps of volunteers attached to the army under the First Consul. At such a time, in such an army, and under such a leader, gallantry in the field 1114 sure not to pass unnoticed or unrewarded - and as the merits of the young soldier of fortune were of a high order, be met with rapid promotion. He was successively appointed to the staff of ll urat, Berthier, and Napoleon himself, and served with great distinction in the campaigns of Portugal, Germany, and Russia. He was named General of Brigade, General of Division. and Count of the Empire in 1813. During the desperate struggle maintained against such fearful odds by Napoleon on the French territory in 1814, Count Flahault was selected to conduct the negotiations for an armistice at Lusigny with the allies, bat the nego tiations were broken off the day Troyes was retaken; the propositions of the negotiator being considered inadmissible by the Powers. A merit beyond that of the mere soldier attaches to Count Flahault's name. He was not one of those to whom could be applied the sarcasm which the ingratitude of those who worshipped him while he was all-powerful, and who abandoned him in his adversity, wrung from the Emperor. Count Flahault's devotion to his chief was the same to the last ; it was pushed even to rashness. Having nobly borne his part in the final struggle of Water loo, he did not yet despair; and after the abdica tion of Napoleon he headed, with Lucien and Labe doyere, the Imperial party in the Chamber of Peers, of which he was a member, and made the most des perate efforts to sustain the dynasty in the person of Napoleon's son. What a moment that was when Ney rushed in while Davoust was reading his report of the military resources that yet remained to France in a most favourable point of view, end announced that it was all illusion ; that it was ab surd to suppose that 60,000 men could then be rallied; that Marshal Grouchy could hardly mus ter 10,000 or 15,000; that the Prussians were not beaten, and that the allies would be at the gates of the capital in six or seven days ! In the midst of the vehement agitation which followed these tidings Flahault did not despair ; and he, Lucien, Joseph, and Labedoyere pro claimed Napoleon 11. Their efforts were -vei n ; the Government of France was to be decided otherwise than by debates in either the Peers or the Depu ties.' When all was ov er, a mong those who were forced to emigrate was Count Flahault. Owing, I believe, to the influence of Prince Talley ilehsissoonnamafeter w th as e s s e t c r o u n e d k o r a f n e d x , re e s a to t rat e i f o n t h e f h i e t Bourbons, and he was enabled to return to France. The Revolution of July restored him to his seat in the Chamber of Peers and to his rank in the army. He was subsequently attached to the military household of the Duk e of Orleans, had several dip lomatic missions entrusted to him, and held the post of Ambassador to Vienna from 1842 to the Revolution of 1848. As General of Division he was placed on the reserve of the army in 1849. On the sth May, 1838, he had been named Knight Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour, of which he now is Grand Chancellor. Few have passed through more vicissitudes of good and adverse fortune than Count Flahault: As one of the oldest and most faithful followers of the first Napoleon it was natural that he should be highly considered by the third of the name, whom he represented as Ambassador in London, after having represented Louis Philippe at Vienna. Count Flahault is so well known in England that it is superfluous to say his nobleness of character, distinction of manner, and kindness of disposition have grined him as much goodwill there as in . bis na tive country, and that his friends on boat! sides of the Channel have learnt with equal sat)y at,„ the honour so appropriately conferred t e ntlemen of nephew on one of the most gallant g uncle's court and camp. —see Derby, Oia, •111.........01.•••••••10.........- - - - WaterlooCh estcr C C: p p , t Liverrain itraining f r o r e e l p o C r h t s a , s e frx , {. , 3 u i n e a s, 13 stamps.
